(HR IlfiTJlA LETTER-
ONE OF COEUMBIa’h SONS IN THE OLD
DOMINION.
Lexington, Va. Nov. 9,1887.
Editors Sentinel :
In the following lines it shall be
my endeavor to describe the beauti
ful country of the Valley of Virginia,
in the heart of which I have tho pleas
ure of being nt present located. Tho
country which lies adjacent to Lex
ington is extremely mountainous and
the Blue Ridge, clothed in its exter
i nal mantle of blue, can be seen lifting
, its lofty summit in the distance.
; Those mountains are covered with
a thick growth of trees, and down
their dark ravines brooks merily toss,
lending h charm to them which is al
most indescribable.
These mountains aro very beauti
ful, especially at this time of the
year, when they aro decked with a
diversity of colors, which would rival
the efforts of an art,st to depict.
Through this Valley flows the North
river, meandering along in’its tortu
ous course it winds in and out
among the mountains; abounding iu
trout near its source, it is, as a mut
ter of course, a great resort for
sporfsmen.
Near Lexington is tho Natural
Bridge, famed throughout tho whole
world as one of tile most curious
freaks of nature. In addition to this
curiosity of .nature, there is an attrac
tion which cannot be justly valued, it
is tho healthful ih ss of its situation.—
Isolated from tho accustomed haunts
of man and situated in a most charm
ing district its atmosphere is free
Irixn the epidemical animalcule which
o’erteems the air of our densely pop
ulated cities. And, now, that Indian
summer has come to enhance the ma
jestic, yet serene beauty of the scene
ry, ami to cover tho land with a hazy
sweetness, it scorns by far too pure
for tho habitation of corrupted mor
tals, but one might well believe that
the fairies of our ancient myths hold
their festive sports among tho green
vales <if tho hills.
Hole, too, is the homo of Leo and
Jocksou, the mention of whose names
thrills the hearts of all true Southern
ers, and tho venerable halls of Wash
ington and Leo University and tho
Virginia Military Institute seem like
monuments erected to their memory.
Indeed, so closely is the name of R.
E Lee connected with the college
that it sometimes seems as if the mar
tial of feet could be heard at night
echoing down tho dim corridors.
I will now close my letter to you
with tho hope that some of my Geor
gia friends may in tho near future
have the pleasure of visiting this
grand old Valley of Virginia, the
beauty of which can, in writing, only
bo feebly portrayed, and upon whose
patriotic soil so many bravo soldiers
of tho old “Empire State” fought,
bled and died, fighting for what they
believed to boa just cause and what
in their belief, their God did not
condemn. Truly, yours, R. C.

Excellent Farming.
Evening News: Who can beat the
record for excellent farming when a
lady makes over a bah of cotton to
the acre ? Mrs. 8. A. Lamar, of
Beech Island, who runs a small plant
ation over tho river, has made this
season 41 bales of cotton on 40 acres
of land, with only two mules. Be
sides tho growing of cotton, Mis. La
mar has produced a large quantity of
corn and other cereal crops The
old experienced farmers had better
look out if the ladies are going to out
do them in husbandry.
Pitts’ Carminative has been used
during the summer months for flatu
lent colic, cholcramorbus, cholera in
fantum ami teething children for
more than thirty years. During that
time it has not resulted in a single
failure when t e case was begun in
time. Moreover babies who have
taken Pitts’ Carminative aro always
fat and healthy. Why is this? Ist.
Because it is pleasant to the taste and
the children will not refuse it. 2nd.
It promotes digestion and the child is
not weakened by drain from stomach
and bowels. 3rd. It corrects all
acids and keeps the stomach healthy.
—The cross tie business is on a
boom.
